When are people going to realize the Bonds doesn\'t like the media, and the media writes nothing but negativity about him because of. And the best part? Bonds doesn\'t change and kiss their butts just to get good press. He\'s doing his own thing, and isn\'t going to kiss anyones butt just for good press. Gotta respect that! 100% agree with you on this Mark. When are people going to realize the Bonds doesn\’t like the media, and the media writes nothing but negativity about him because of.

I love love he athletics of Barry Sanders and I even think he is a nice guy. I used to hate the overrated athleticism (my opinion) of Shaq (thought he was just a big load) ad thought he was a big-mouth. Now I respect him for the things he does off the court. But I never HATED Shaq the way people hate Barry Bonds (or Michael Vick), and I never worshipped Barry Sanders. Athletes are people too, and where I come from, I was taught not to hate. Some of these same hateful people call themselves Christians (which I am). They should be ashamed for teaching their children their stupid obsession called hate!

If Bonds had somehow cheated his way to an NBA title we\'d be having a different discussion I suspect...love this blog by the way, a must read.

He\'s a cheater and he\'s made a mockery of the record books. I know Giants fans who trot out legal arguments that he hasn\'t been convicted of anything. He\'s guilty in my court of lacking integrity, morality and virtue. His career should\'ve ended years ago and several hundred home runs short of the record book. <br>I\'m actually surprised by your stance on this, Cuban. I think it\'s a slippery slope when we take a non-chalant attitude towards our sports stars, heroes and leaders. Maybe the win at all costs attitude is more pervasive than I think, I\'m hoping that it\'s not. Let\'s draw a line: on one side stands Lou Gehrig, Roberto Clemente and Jackie Robinson. On the other, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds. Let me know where you stand. Sounds to me like you\’re blaming the media for the controversy surrounding Bonds.

The big hitters of Sosa, Bonds, McGuire and Conseco ruined baseball for me. I view it the same way as I view wrestling or entertainment weekly. To the youth, to be a good baseball player continue chasing Aaron and stay away from the big headed creep who only got stronger with age. Not going to remember the moment, him or baseball.
